Is Biofuels the answer to power our engines?

Nature has been harnessing sunlight to power growth and power the world. We rely on plants, crops and agriculture, to not only feed us, but also to feed our livestock, such as chicken, cattle and pig.

In more recent history we’ve begun to rely on the stored energy plants have helped produce, such as oil, coal, and natural gas. These fuels however have their negatives impacts which are only compounded with our ever increasing need for more usable energy to power all aspects of our lives. One alternative is Biofuels, but just like all types of renewable energy, such as solar and wind, it has its positives and negatives. As we desire more and more energy to fuel everyday life it will be important to decide where we want our energy to come from.
